THE STRIhE A HARD RAP AT
THE CITY'S GUANO TRADE.

A Slight Increase in the Cost of Hand
ling the Guano Would Divert the
Trade to Other Competitive Ports
The Strikers Induce Imported Hands
to Join Them.
PENSACOLA, FLA, Feb. 3.-The Louis
vile and Nashville Railroad Company TO-
day, at 1890 O'Clock, brought into town
about sixty or seventy laborers, gathered
along the line of their road from River
Junction to Pensacola, intending that
they should work in discharging the YES
sells now in port with guanO and phos-
pilates. Upon their arrival in the city
they were accompanied by policemen and
carried in the cars direct 10 their place OF
labor. The news OF their arrival soon
spread among the striking guano hands,
and 1t was but very short time before
large delegation OF strikers appeared upon
the scene. The strikers, who were prIn-
cipaliy colored, eXhOrted the new arrivals
to abstain from work.
ION DE SIDE OBJ DE LORD"
Among their eKhortatIons could fire.
duently be heard an exclamation like
this: Come on de side OBJ de Lord He
will protect yer" After this pleading
with the new arrivals they refused to 90
TO work, and the company nave maze no
progress in their attempt to hasten the
discharge OF the vessels now here. In an
interview with the general freight and
passenger agent OF the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad Company to-day, the
NEWS correspondent was informed that
the guano traffic, which has lately
assumed gigantic proportions at this
port, was only worked up after a siren
uOus effort and is maintained against
70 aIiUhfnaF in
crease in charges would probably divert
this trade to other channels, and the men
who now seek through a short sighted
policy to benefit their condition VIII find
that they have killed the goose that laid
the golden egg.

1t is claimed that the chances are
largely against money-makinR by tillipc
the soil under the present order Of things.
As ID matter OF fact the larger number of
those who are trying it are falling farther
and farther back every year. But we
hear now and then OF one who is making
farming decided success-who is I'M
proving his condition at rapid rate.
Ever ana anon, it is reported through the
papers that this or that farmer has
been blessed with a large Weld as
the result OF well directed effort, and
then we learn occasionally tnat the hire
ling of few years ago is the hirer of
many laborers. These Instances prove
that 1t Is not impossible to make money
with free labor and cotton al low figures.
With skill and economy and energy toe
thing may be done. The question pre-
sents itself why 1t is done by SO few.
In the cases that prosper IL il not
discernible that there are any excep-
tiOnsl advantages iu their favor. They
do not find richer lands or secure more
efficient labor. They do not possess any
power of attracting the clouds 10 dis
pense showers upon their fields. IN all
these particulars they are neither more
nor less favored than others. The differ
ence lies chiefly in the faith and the Will.
a great many Of our young men VINO en-
gage in farming start out with TIL CON
YictlOn on their minds that they are
going to fail, and as matter OF
course they do fail. They 20 at il In a
Taint-hearted, loose-handed way, that
makes success almost an impossiblity.
They have no faith in themselves, and no
one has any in them. Few OF them have
money, and quite as few Inspire the con-
tidence which renders capitalists willing
to risk advances. There never was n
time when young man who evinces
determination, energy and shrewdnes
could command larger or reader
credit than now. Some who have
little save these qualities to pledge are
procuring loans. which judicious manage
ment may make them masters Of indie
pendent fortunes. Why cannot many do
soy Simply, as we think, because our
young men are distrustful OF themselves.
Had they more faith ia their own abni-
ties, they would be more astir in enter
prises, and this would beget a stronger
confidence on the part Of others in their
future.

BRIGHAM DEAD ENOUGH.
The Story of His Being Alive Dis
credited in Salt Lake.
From tbs Neao YORK. Star.

from ms Neto YORK. Star.
SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 1.-The story
that Brigham Young is alive, which mas
been telegraphed broadcast from Lincoln,
Neb., is looked upon here by both Gen
tiles and MormOns as simply an absurd
and groundless sensation. A prominent
Gentle, who was active in the proceed
ings which resulted in the execution OF
John D. Lee for the part he took in the
famous Mountain Meadow massacre, said
to your correspondents:
That a man of Brigham Young's
presence could have been spirited away
to London, and remain there So many
years unrec0gnized, is past all reasona-
BILE belief. True, there were reasons, ac-
cording to GENTLE understanding. why il
would have been well for the prophet If
he could have been hidden from the ofi.
GERS Of the law, who were then causing
him great deal Of trouble. and
pressing him rather closely as
10 his alleged partnership in the
crime for which Lee had suffered death
but these very reasons served to increase
the vigilance OF the law, from which
death alone released him. There we're ru-
mprs at the time that his demise was ac-
celebrated by interested parties within the
c urch, However this may be, every
man, woman or child then in salt Lake
City knows that he died, was emLalmed
and lay in state tor nearly a week in the
great tabernacle, where his remains were
viewed by thousands OF people, Mormon
and Gentle, from all parts of the coun-
| try"
A Bishop Of the Mormon Church denies
that missionaries are preaching an early
second advent Of the prophet. Speaking
OF the Lincoln story as utter nonsense,
he added Brigham Young was loved by
all his people. II it had been necess airy
to defend his life, any Of us would have
done 50 at the risk OF his own. why,
then, should he so to London, or II that
! were determined upon, what had he done
in his loag life that would condemn him
to moments purgatorial probation In

ATLANTA, Feb. 3.-To-day Bill Good
win (colored), OF Oglethorpe county, who
at the October term in 1889 was sentenced
to four years In the penitentary for rob-
berry from the person, was pardoned Nv
the Governor. The grounds OF the pardon
are that Goodwin's principal witness
was absent at the time of the trial with
out the procurement or by the consent of
the defendant, and also that the Judge
who tried the case he's upon three diff
ferent occasions urged executive Glenn
ency, because, in his behalf, Goodwin was
serving a sentence for a crlme that he
never committed.

ROCHESTER,s BLAZE.
One Wing of the Industrial School
entirely Destroyed.


ROCHESTER,, y. Y, Feb. 3.-The fire
which started about / O'Clock this MORN
ing in the State Industrial school, form
erly the Western House of Refuge, origi-
mated in the drying room Of the female de-
Dartment. The fire spread rapidly, and
soon the west end of the building was
completely enveloped. Ninety-six girls
and women were in this department, all
OF whom we're rescued. A stun WIND
caused the fire to spread rapidly,
but the 6remen fought desperately and
confined the flames to that department.
Loud explosions, caused by the bursting
of steam radiators throughout the build
ing, were heard at frequent intervals. The
falling walls made 1t especially danger
Gus for the fremen. 1t was soon dlscov-
cred that the boys department was in
immediate danger. superintendent Full
ton ordered all the boys transferred to
the basement, bath room and the new part
of the m ale division. The fire was confined
to the building in which 1t originated.
At 3 O'Clock the fire had completely Quilted
the building and spent its fury. One OF
the water mains bursted, thus shutting
off the supply Of water when most needed.
The loss is estimated at 800, 600, with no
insurance. All that was saved from the
building was a number Of articles of
clothing belonging TO the inmates. Great
loss of life was but narrowly averted.
Steps will probably be taken TO rebuild at
once.
The remains of Mrs. p. j. Van HOosen
were discovered among the ruins OF the
female department. She was 35 years OF
age, and was employed in the laundry
